EARTH CRISIS LYRICS

1. Against The Current

To defy or tranquilize
Pretense to
assimilate
Normalized till accepted
Caution falls to attrition
Keep my head
above the surface
Holding on against the current
Raise the glass to crown the
heights
To accelerate
Inhale the easy answer
The burning embers
wait
Traverse the gateway
In a haze of smoke
Hits to pills until
No other
way to cope
Rendered Lifeless
Keep my head above the surface
Holding on
against the current
Rivers of toxins
Dragged under and down
Caught in a
torrent
Until they disappear
Warnings fall on deaf ears
Fractured lives
slowly break
Wounds and scars last for life
Ruins left in their
wake
Repulsed by all that I see
Waves break over me
Everlasting
loyalty
Straight Edge in contrast
To the conscious corpses
That drift
lifeless past
Keep my head above the surface
Straight edge against the
current.

2. To Ashes

Deterioration accelerates
My kin a prisoner
Now the reaper
awaits
A demon encased
Inside of human skin
A profiteer that feeds
A plague
of addiction
There’s no option, There’s no recourse
There’s no other
way
Every meth lab burned
To ashes
Every meth lab burned
Crimson
flames
Against the darkened sky
The ultimate act of intervention
No other
option left but to retaliate
Drawn to attack the source
The origin
eradicated
Confronted with reptilian coldness
If not from me
Then someone
else will sell this
Never accept that this
Is just an act of fate
The angers
boiling down
Into absolute hate
Crimson flames
Against the darkened sky
The
ultimate act of intervention
No other option left but to retaliate
Drawn to
attack the source
The origin eradicated
Doused and set ablaze
Scales of
justice raised
Every meth lab burned
Crimson flames
Against the darkened
sky
The ultimate act of intervention
No other option left but to
retaliate
Drawn to attack the source
The origin eradicated

3. So Others Live

Demented technology
Devised for the slaughter
Sentient beings' blood
Spills in frigid water
Harpoons pierce flesh and bone
Explosives detonate
Senseless killings continue
A sickening fate

Trivial excuses can't justify
The sane filled with rage
No reasons for these creatures to die

Waning numbers fade in seas
clouded with pollution
Pursued to the earth's end
To near extinction
Wailing fleet confronted
In harm's way at risk
The daring intervene
Courage passes its test

Trivial excuses can't justify
The sane filled with rage
No reasons for these creatures to die

The last line of defense to save a species
Shepherd's safety forfeit
So others live
Now the carnage is challenged

Demented technology
Devised for the slaughter
Sentient beings' blood
Spills in frigid water
Harpoons pierce flesh and bone
Explosives detonate
Senseless killings continue
A sickening fate

4. Security Threat #1

The weapons and drugs of dealers
Kill more in months and weeks
Than all of Al-Qaeda's victims
For the cartel's greed
Their numbers equivalent
To an invading force
Violent drug gangs are terrorists
Track the chaos to its source
Terror tactics bribery
Torture an murder
Forced into a fearful silence
In a one-sided war

Security Threat number one
Security Threat number one

Collaborators betray
Till the system fails
Tally up the death toll
On a global scale
The body count rises
Overdoses and accidents
Bullets kill both innocents
And law enforcement

Security Threat number one
Security Threat number one

Don't tell me it's just a choice
Don't tell me it expands minds
Don't tell me it doesn't harm
Don't tell me anyone else

5. When Slaves Revolt

They betrayed us all
Lambs that weep for the release
Of murderous wolves
Lunatics extort from us
To placate parasites
Loyal to nothing
Just as they
Were programmed to be
Mindlessness lost to excess in their vanity
The heel is bearing down on our throats
This is when slaves are
Forced to revolt
A lethal threat
Has been imposed
Now must defend
Fight back
With steel in my hand
History distorted every triumph defeated
The flaws magnified until
The ideal is left weakened
The heel is bearing down on our throats
This is when slaves are
Forced to revolt
A lethal threat
Has been imposed
Now must defend
Fight back
With steel in my hand
Trapped in the ruins of
A failed experiment
Discard their illusions
Break out of the ruins of
A failed experiment
Discard their illusions
The heel is bearing down on our throats
This is when slaves are
Forced to revolt
A lethal threat
Has been imposed
Now must defend
Fight back
With steel in my hand

6. Plague Bearers

[Instrumental]

7. Control Through Fear

Control throught fear
Let the chaos reign
Agents of disorder
Plague bearers' swarm

Marionettes at
Unseen masters hands
Sledgehammers crack the pillars
Till they barely stand

Link by link
The chains constrict
Over time
Shackles slowly tighten
Alterers of perseption
Lead down a darkened path
Clouds of smoke sent up to
Obliterate the past

Control throught fear
Let the chaos reign
Agents of disorder
Plague bearers' swarm
Link by link
The chains constrict
Over time
Shackles slowly tighten
Alterers of perseption
Lead down a darkened path
Clouds of smoke sent up to
Obliterate the past

They're victims of subconscious suicide
They're enablers of the crime
Poisen against creatve devision
Drvie the wedge fragement cohesion
A nightmare
Brought into reality
Can't turn back
Ruins are all I see

Control throught fear
Let the chaos reign
Agents of disorder
Plague bearers' swarm
Marionettes at
Unseen masters hands
Sledgehammers crack the pillars
Now they fall

8. Cities Fall

The hand of death is lifted
Across the land
The blight exterminates
None able to withstand
Demonic misanthropes
Unseen killing wins
Intentionally set
Upon humanity
Airborne agents infect
From the contagions inhaled
The particles transmit
Till immune system fails

Lives taken slowly
As the sickness spreads
No cure to defend
No cure to reverse
One by one - struck down
Nations end, cities fall
With the silent dead
Nations end, cities fill
With the silent dead

Man's creations collapse
Under the elements
Buildings slowly crumble
Away in the stillness

Lives taken slowly
As the sickness spreads
No cure to defend
No cure to reverse
One by one - struck down
Nations end, cities fall
With the silent dead
Nations end, cities fill
With the silent dead

The skyline decays
Now nature reclaims the earth
Vegetation returns
Civilizations fade
Birds above beasts below
Urbanscape unreconizable
Through broken canyons
Streams flow free
Fractured streets are filled with trees
Moss covered concrete
In ruins
In the absence of humans

Their lives taken slowly
As sickness spreads
No cure to defend
No cure to reverse
One by one - struck down
Nations end, cities fall
With the silent dead
Nations end, cities fill
With the silent dead

9. Eye Of Babylon

Projected from the eye of Babylon
Disseminate the vileness
Till every psyche is scarred
Virtue mocked and cut down
History falsified
Traditions assaulted
That once unified
Do as thou will
In the world without God
Now the earth's a hell
Humans a fallen race
Cast the smashed remains
Of the moral compass away
Not brave or new
A hi-tech lapse into
The arcane and the cruel
What crimes of geneticists await
Now god's creations are twisted
Alterations tempt destruction
Crops that can't regenerate
Animails modified for profit
Humans for slavery or war

10. What Horrifies

The recklessness
The senselessness
It's insidious
This is what horrifies

3600 pounds of steel
Accelerates
Victims lost intoxicated
All his mistake
Crushed to death or left paralyzed

The recklessness
The senselessness
It's insidious
This is what horrifies

A mother's instincts
Overpowered
By the ferocity
Of addiction
Carinogens inhaled
Leave her baby poisoned
When what is done is done
It affects everyone
Addict's live crumbles
Can't function or care
Abandons his family
Caught in a snare
Others dragged down
As they're pulled in
A tangled mess of disasters

The recklessness
The senselessness
It's insidious
This is what horrifies

11. To The Death

Beneath the glare
Days of agony are spent
Caged, chained or penned
Above a floor of wire fence
Every basic right denied
Even the freedom of movement
Inescapable insanity
Dominates every moment
Enslaved and entombed
I disengage the death machine
species torn from nature
individuals decreased
from living beings no nothing more
than mechaniced protein machines
calves seized from their mothers
confined in veal crates
Meat, dairy industries connect
To end with the same fate
Enslaved and entombed
I disengage the death machine
Boxcars, stockyards - the killing floor
decapitated in the abattoir
partake suffer the consequence
anthropocentric arrogance
Beneath the glare
Days of agony are spent
Caged, chained or penned
Above a floor of wire fence
Every basic right denied
Even the freedom of movement
Inescapable insanity
Dominates every moment
Vegan for life
Vegan to the death
